Not Right For WatchKnowLearn

WatchKnowLearn ratings are intentionally harsher than what you might find on YouTube, for example.
Most of our videos have been imported by people who want to use them with kids, not by the creators of the videos.
We take a hard-nosed attitude toward quality. Four and five stars should be reserved for really excellent quality.
Three stars isn't bad. Two is often watchable and shouldn't be ruled out.

5 stars = Exemplary.
Unusually helpful and well produced. Do not overuse this, please; it is not the standard rating for decent work,
as it is elsewhere.

4 stars = Very Good.
Very helpful but not among the very best; adequately produced, at least.

3 stars = Usable.
Reasonably helpful, perhaps a bit amateurish in production or has some other problem; there is nothing wrong with
a 3-star rating for amateur work!

2 stars = Some Merit.
Minimally helpful; not completely worthless or inappropriate; you can see how it might be useful to some people.

1 star = Not Right for WatchKnowLearn.
Not at all helpful, not educational, poorest quality, etc.; you can't see it being useful to anyone.

This video is accompanied by text. "Democracy largely had its origins in Great Britain, where people grew tired of life under monarchical rule. Although not all monarchs were tyrants, many of them were greedy and ruthless, taxing their people heavily and punishing them harshly, sometimes without cause. Not surprisingly, the people longed for more control over their lives. At Runnymede, England, in 1215, after years of exorbitant taxation and bloody foreign wars, English barons took a stand against King John. They drew up the Magna Carta, which outlined restrictions on the king's power and granted certain rights to the barons. For example, it provided that the king could not jail or execute people without due process, and he could not arbitrarily seize their money or property..."
